PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE
FOR MUNICIPAL JUDGE
IS ATTORNEY MILLER
Not Only Is He An Able, Upright Lawyer, But He Has Always Been a Friend and
' Kindly Adviser To Those
Struggling Sincerely To Find
a Place In the World.
BEWARE OF LAST MINUTE
RADIO STATEMENTS
THE PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE
If ever a man deserved the vote of
!his fellow citizens that man is E. W
Miller; candidate for Judge of the
Municipal Court.
Events of the last two weeks of the
Municipal Judge campaign have
knocked into a cocked hat the notion
that political ballyhoo already has
selected tlie next Judge of that court.
The choice is still open, and each day
E. W. Miller is gaining ground in
■Canton and ' Plain- townships. The
political bosses in the Republican and
Democratic parties are worried over
the strength displayed by Attorney
Miller, and tbey lenow that a snift of
• one thousand votes will decide the
'election. _,,-;-v- • /-.*■. .'
Bosslsm is on the defensive in this
campaign, and if the people will do
'flhe'ir duty on Tuesday, Nov. 5, and
vote for E. W. Miller for Judge of
■the Municipal Court the bosses will
get a drubbing they will not forget
in a hurry.
To Use the Radio
'The Sun has been informed that
men opposed to Attorney Miller will
talk over the radio on Monday night,
a few hours before the polls open on
Tuesday morning, and urge that
Miller be defeated on the ground that
he "is young and inexperienced." They
won't say, however, that every Judge
was "inexperienced on the Bench" before his first election or appointment
to the Bench. Every officeholder seeking re-election to an important position springs the "lack of experience"
gag, but overlooks the time when he
was "inexperienced." As a matter of
truth, many lawyers know more about
law than do the Judges they practice
■ before.
Radio listeners will be told, too, that
Miller has a political boss, perhaps
five or six bosses, backing him. The
Sun suggests that you laugh when
you heat* that. Miller is absolutely his
own boss. He is the candidate of the
people, not of a small ring of men
interested in politics.
If The Sun, an independent newspaper, thought for a second that Attorney Miller is backed by a political
machine it would drop him instantly.
This newspaper has no time for
political machines of any description.
The Sun is asking the people of
Canton and Plain townships to go to
the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 5, and vote
for E. W. Miller. His name will be
found on the non-partisan judicial
ballot. Put an X in front of his name.
His honesty, ability, fairness and
integrity make him the ideal candidate
-for the position. A stickler for effici-
■ency, he is nevertheless, a kindly adviser and helper and he has always
been a friend to those struggling
sincerely to find a place in the world.
If ever a man deserved the vote
of his fellow citizens that man is E.
W. Miller, candidate for Judge of the
Municipal Court:
THE SUN.

Citizens Appeal
To AH Residents To Vote
Yes On 2.5 Mill Levy
By North Canton Citizens' Committee
We believe the 2.5 mill special
operating levy should be adopted by
the voters of the village.
Because additional operating funds
are absolutely necessary to continue
village operations;
Because any further reductions in
village operations will seriously impair police and fire protection and
raise insurance rates;
Because the 2.5 mill levy is the
cheapest and only 100% effective
solution;
Because a balanced budget is imperative;
Because accumulated deficits impair
the Village's credit.
Vote for a balanced budget. Vote
"Yes" on the tax levy. We favor and
recommend its adoption.

STAMP WEEK NOY. 4-9
North Canton Library Will Have
Display By Collectors.
The week of November 4-9 has been
designated as "National Stamp Week"
and the North Canton Library will
sponsor some interesting displays

Few people realize the interest
taken in stamp collecting by the
Junior Stamp club and will be surprised at their displays. Each member
of the club is asked to see Mr. Harsh
at the Community Building or to come
to the library and get instructions for
mounting and entering displays. Judging will be based on neatness and
uniqueness of the entries.
Tlie McKinley Stamp club of Canton will have frames of stamps on
display and adult collectors will enter
individual collections.
All stamp collectors in this vicinity
are invited to participate in this
Stamp week observation by bringing
entries from their collections to the
library for display. All entries should
be brought to the library by Monday,
November 4.
Make a note of this in your list
of engagements and be sure to visit
the display of stamps at the library
during Stamp week.

FARM UNION NEWS
Echoes From the Ohio Farm Union
Convention.
Many musical numbers were heard
during the convention by members of
different locals, vocal as well as instrumental. Solos, duets and guartets
were all skillfully interpreted.
The national secretary made a stirring speech that gave everyone food
for thought.
Ohio's secretary, Paul Ryan, spoke
on the "Frazier-Lempke bill" and
asked that Ohio supply more signatures. He urged members to go home
determined to work for new members
He said "The Farm Union paper
goes into thousands of non-members
homes. When you send a copy to anyone, follow it up with a visit."
The presence of Farm Union members in Columbus last year had a good
effect. It was their first appearance
as Farm Union representatives.

As The Sun Sees It
Without Prejudice
No Judas Here
BECAUSE a number of weekly
newspapers in Stark county remain strictly neutral during a
county, state or national political
campaign is no reason why The Sun
should adopt such a policy. The Sun
is never neutral when it feels that the
best interests of the people are in
danger.
The Sun believes in supporting men
and women for public office capable
and eager to give the people good
service. For taking this stand The
Sun has been damned in certain
quarters, but this newspaper knows
that it is honest with itself and honest
with its readers.
The Sim does not wave banners for
Billy Jinks on the oast side of the
street and beat tom-toms for Bobby
Boo on the west side. You can find
where this newspaper stands on all
public questions without the aid of a
magnifying glass.
Keep this in mind: The Sun is independent in politics, but never
neutral. Many readers of this newspaper rely upon it for accurate
political information. That is a confidence The Sun is proud to acknowledge. It brings with it, however, a
sense of deep responsibility. It causes
this newspaper to be very careful in
making statements. To betray people
who place confidence in you is the

Are Going To Give Young
People Opportunity To Have a
Real Enjoyable Time.
PROGRAMS OF INTEREST
As usual, North Canton will celebrate Halloween in a sensible manner
on Friday night. Twelve years ago
the Community Building, officials of
this town and citizens generally decided that "hick town stuff" was a
thing of the past. Destroying property
to make what the boys called "fun"
became vandalism in the eyes of the
law, and since the opening of the
Community Building there has been
nothing of a serious nature to shock
the feelings of residents .
This year there will be private
parties, but the majority of people
will go to the Community Building
for their fun on Friday, and they will
find it in abundance.
The programs will be sponsored by
The Woman's club and the North Canton Post of the American Legion.
THE WOMAN'S CLUB
Will Furnish Program For the Children On Friday Evening.
As stated in The Sun last week, The
Woman's club of North Canton is
sponsoring a Halloween party for
children from kindergarten age to
seventh grade, inclusive, on the
second floor of the Community Building on Fridav evening from 7:00 to
8:00 o'clock. "
The children will then go to the
main floor for a program. It promises
to be of interest to everyone.
The committee in charge is: Mrs.
Conrad Traut, Mrs. Maynard Hummel,
Mrs. W. Reeder, Mrs. L. H. Hupp,
Mrs. M. M. Rubright, Miss Opal

In all organizations, and I do not
think there are any exceptions, we
■find a few persona who have to carry
on the work and jf it were not for
these few workers the or-janization
would cease to exist.
In the background we find a.larger
group, persons who are indifferent
and who are willing to "let George
do it," and as long as "George" does
it they are perfectly satisfied.
Then we have still another groun
who are not willing to help but as
soon as something is done which does
not conform to their ideas, they are
the first to criticise.
Our Post, like all organizations, has
these three groups. Let us as individual members ask ourselves, which
group do I belong in ? Am I doing my
share m promoting the program of
my Post?
Each member must consider this
his Post and the success of the Post
depends on the support it receives
from its membership.

"The People's Watchdog"
A A- sl '
rli neighb
SHILLING of the Navarre
horhood is seeking re-election to the county board of
education. "Old Faithful, the People's
Watchdog," as he is called by many
persons, well deserves the tilla. He
IS a watchdog when the interests of
the people are in danger. He believes
in ripping extravagance up the back,
down tlie back and around tlie collar.
But he is no cheap cheese slicer. He
has made a great record on the .county
school board a.s a believer in economy
and efficiency. Teachers know they
have a champion in him. They, know,
too, that he is at all times willing to
help solve the problems tbey face
during the year.
A conscientious, fearless friend of
school children, A. A. Shilling enjoys
the respect of all who know him. His
past services entitle him to re-election
and The Sun is supporting him because he is faithful, honest as daylight, and in every way thoroughly
capable. To defeat such a man would
be a serious blow not only to people
of moderate income but to the cause
of common sense in conducting tlie
schools of Stark county.

Representative citizens of North
Canton sat in the Council chamber
on Monday night and listened closely
to Attorney Albert Arbaugh, the
village solicitor since 1922, explain
the reason why the people of North
Canton should vote for the 2.5 mill
levy on Tuesday.
Solicitor Arbaugh's statements were
facts, and so clearly did he present
them that a ten-year-old child, if
listening, could grasp the meaning
instantly.
Attorney Arbaugh said that in his
many years as solicitor for the village he had never met a more conscientious body of men than the
present officials. They had reduced
salaries thirty-three and a third per
cent. They had combined clerkships
and thus saved the taxpayers the
salary formerly paid to a clerk of
the water board. They had cut the
police force to one man (the marshal
is elected by the people); they had
curtailed lights without impairing the
lighting of the streets. In every way
the present Mayor and Councilmen
had performed their duties in a most
creditable manner, said Mr. Arbaugh.
Articles In The Sun
In referring to the articles published in The Sun, Attorney Arbaugh
asserted thnt the figures printed in
The Sun are all the subject of audit
or examination by any person interested and are not only supported by
the books of the village but by budget
commission reports and examiners'
reports.
Continuing, Mr. Arbaugh said that
Ids discussion of the 2.5 mill operating
levy would be tieated from three
angles: First—Is it necessary? Second
—What caused the necessity? Third
—What other solutions are possible?
Taking up the first proposition, the
Village Council and the other village
officials, including myself, by sponsoring this special levy, represent to
you that it is necessary, and a few
facts will demonstrate the truth of
that representation.
Town's Income Reduced
The income of the village for
•operating purposes has been reduced
from an average of $28,000 for the
five years ending in 1032 to estimated
receitps of $10,000 for the current
year of 1935, or a C0% reduction. By
exercise of economies the expenses
have been reduced from an average
of $27,000 to approximately $19,500
for the current year.
When I speak of operating receipts
and expenditures, I refer only to-
general fund receipts and expenditures. This does not include receipts
ami expenditures for operation of the
water works, which is under the control of the Board of Public Affairs,
for garbage collection and disposal,
which is self sustaining, nor do I include sinking fund receipts and expenditures, which are controlled entirely by tlie interest and principal
requirements of outstanding bonds,
and are handled by the sinking fund
trustees. Also excluded are street
maintenance and repair operations
which arc handled exclusively through
1 gasoline tax and motor vehicle license
1 funds, said Attorney Arbaugh.
| Condition Coming For Years
; He asserted that the genera] fund
j operations include the police and fire
j departments, salaries of all village
I officials, except the water works
I superintendent and the street commis-
! sioner; street lights, sewage disposal,
| operating expense of the park and
j village hall, workmen's compensation,
j election expense, county health ex-
j pense and other minor expenses too
• numerous to detail.
I The critical situation which the
' village faces has not developed over
night but has been forseeable for
several years and every year the
; legislature has been promising to give
, relief to municipalities, and in the face
of these promises Council has always
been reluctant to submit an added tax
; levy. Legislative relief has not been
| forthcoming and if governmental
i functions, such as fire and police pro-
! tection, sewage disposal, etc. are to
: continue, somethig must be done now.
1 ' Causes of Necessity
j Discussing necessity, he said they
1 may be roughly grouped into two
classes, major and minor. Major
cases, declared Mr. Arbaugh, are the

stitution in 193*1, the operation of the
classified tax amendment to the constitution adopted in 1930, and a failure of the sales tax to meet expectations. Contributing minor causes are
the various reductions in tax valuations of real estate and delinquencies
in payment of taxes.
As a direct result of the ten mill
limit the operating levy of the village
was reduced from $2 per thousand to
.40 cents per thousand of tax valuation, thereby reducing tax receipts
for operating purposes from $S,000.00
to $1500. The classified property tax
directly resulted in the tax duplicate
of the village dropping from over
$9,000,000 to $4,000,00, or .a 50% reduction. To be sure, there have been
some receipts from the classified
property tax which have off-set in a

PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE
FOR MUNICIPAL JUDGE

Not Only Is He An Able, Upright Lawyer, But He Has Always Been a Friend and
' Kindly Adviser To Those
Struggling Sincerely To Find

BEWARE OF LAST MINUTE
RADIO STATEMENTS
THE PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE
If ever a man deserved the vote of
!his fellow citizens that man is E. W
Miller; candidate for Judge of the
Municipal Court.
Events of the last two weeks of the
Municipal Judge campaign have
knocked into a cocked hat the notion
that political ballyhoo already has
selected tlie next Judge of that court.
The choice is still open, and each day
E. W. Miller is gaining ground in
■Canton and ' Plain- townships. The
political bosses in the Republican and
Democratic parties are worried over
the strength displayed by Attorney
Miller, and tbey lenow that a snift of
• one thousand votes will decide the
'election. _,,-;-v- • /-.*■. .'
Bosslsm is on the defensive in this
campaign, and if the people will do
'flhe'ir duty on Tuesday, Nov. 5, and
vote for E. W. Miller for Judge of
■the Municipal Court the bosses will
get a drubbing they will not forget
in a hurry.
To Use the Radio
'The Sun has been informed that
men opposed to Attorney Miller will
talk over the radio on Monday night,
a few hours before the polls open on
Tuesday morning, and urge that
Miller be defeated on the ground that
he "is young and inexperienced." They
won't say, however, that every Judge
was "inexperienced on the Bench" before his first election or appointment
to the Bench. Every officeholder seeking re-election to an important position springs the "lack of experience"
gag, but overlooks the time when he
was "inexperienced." As a matter of
truth, many lawyers know more about
law than do the Judges they practice
■ before.
Radio listeners will be told, too, that
Miller has a political boss, perhaps
five or six bosses, backing him. The
Sun suggests that you laugh when
you heat* that. Miller is absolutely his
own boss. He is the candidate of the
people, not of a small ring of men
interested in politics.
If The Sun, an independent newspaper, thought for a second that Attorney Miller is backed by a political
machine it would drop him instantly.
This newspaper has no time for
political machines of any description.
The Sun is asking the people of
Canton and Plain townships to go to
the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 5, and vote
for E. W. Miller. His name will be
found on the non-partisan judicial
ballot. Put an X in front of his name.
His honesty, ability, fairness and
integrity make him the ideal candidate
-for the position. A stickler for effici-
■ency, he is nevertheless, a kindly adviser and helper and he has always
been a friend to those struggling
sincerely to find a place in the world.
If ever a man deserved the vote
of his fellow citizens that man is E.
W. Miller, candidate for Judge of the
Municipal Court:

Citizens Appeal
To AH Residents To Vote
Yes On 2.5 Mill Levy
By North Canton Citizens' Committee
We believe the 2.5 mill special
operating levy should be adopted by
the voters of the village.
Because additional operating funds
are absolutely necessary to continue
village operations;
Because any further reductions in
village operations will seriously impair police and fire protection and
raise insurance rates;
Because the 2.5 mill levy is the
cheapest and only 100% effective
solution;
Because a balanced budget is imperative;
Because accumulated deficits impair
the Village's credit.
Vote for a balanced budget. Vote
"Yes" on the tax levy. We favor and
recommend its adoption.

The week of November 4-9 has been

at the Community Building or to come
to the library and get instructions for
mounting and entering displays. Judging will be based on neatness and

As The Sun Sees It
Without Prejudice
No Judas Here
BECAUSE a number of weekly
newspapers in Stark county remain strictly neutral during a
county, state or national political
campaign is no reason why The Sun
should adopt such a policy. The Sun
is never neutral when it feels that the
best interests of the people are in
danger.
The Sun believes in supporting men
and women for public office capable
and eager to give the people good
service. For taking this stand The
Sun has been damned in certain
quarters, but this newspaper knows
that it is honest with itself and honest
with its readers.
The Sim does not wave banners for
Billy Jinks on the oast side of the
street and beat tom-toms for Bobby
Boo on the west side. You can find
where this newspaper stands on all
public questions without the aid of a
magnifying glass.
Keep this in mind: The Sun is independent in politics, but never
neutral. Many readers of this newspaper rely upon it for accurate
political information. That is a confidence The Sun is proud to acknowledge. It brings with it, however, a
sense of deep responsibility. It causes
this newspaper to be very careful in
making statements. To betray people
who place confidence in you is the

PROGRAMS OF INTEREST
As usual, North Canton will celebrate Halloween in a sensible manner
on Friday night. Twelve years ago
the Community Building, officials of
this town and citizens generally decided that "hick town stuff" was a
thing of the past. Destroying property
to make what the boys called "fun"
became vandalism in the eyes of the
law, and since the opening of the
Community Building there has been
nothing of a serious nature to shock
the feelings of residents .
This year there will be private
parties, but the majority of people
will go to the Community Building
for their fun on Friday, and they will
find it in abundance.
The programs will be sponsored by
The Woman's club and the North Canton Post of the American Legion.
THE WOMAN'S CLUB
Will Furnish Program For the Children On Friday Evening.
As stated in The Sun last week, The
Woman's club of North Canton is

children from kindergarten age to

8:00 o'clock. "
The children will then go to the
main floor for a program. It promises
to be of interest to everyone.
The committee in charge is: Mrs.
Conrad Traut, Mrs. Maynard Hummel,

In the background we find a.larger
group, persons who are indifferent
and who are willing to "let George
do it," and as long as "George" does
it they are perfectly satisfied.
Then we have still another groun
who are not willing to help but as
soon as something is done which does
not conform to their ideas, they are
the first to criticise.
Our Post, like all organizations, has
these three groups. Let us as individual members ask ourselves, which
group do I belong in ? Am I doing my

my Post?
Each member must consider this

SHILLING of the Navarre
horhood is seeking re-election to the county board of

Watchdog," as he is called by many
persons, well deserves the tilla. He
IS a watchdog when the interests of
the people are in danger. He believes
in ripping extravagance up the back,

But he is no cheap cheese slicer. He

have a champion in him. They, know,
too, that he is at all times willing to
help solve the problems tbey face

A conscientious, fearless friend of
school children, A. A. Shilling enjoys
the respect of all who know him. His
past services entitle him to re-election
and The Sun is supporting him because he is faithful, honest as daylight, and in every way thoroughly
capable. To defeat such a man would

of moderate income but to the cause

Representative citizens of North
Canton sat in the Council chamber
on Monday night and listened closely
to Attorney Albert Arbaugh, the
village solicitor since 1922, explain
the reason why the people of North
Canton should vote for the 2.5 mill
levy on Tuesday.
Solicitor Arbaugh's statements were
facts, and so clearly did he present
them that a ten-year-old child, if
listening, could grasp the meaning
instantly.
Attorney Arbaugh said that in his
many years as solicitor for the village he had never met a more conscientious body of men than the
present officials. They had reduced
salaries thirty-three and a third per
cent. They had combined clerkships
and thus saved the taxpayers the
salary formerly paid to a clerk of
the water board. They had cut the
police force to one man (the marshal
is elected by the people); they had
curtailed lights without impairing the
lighting of the streets. In every way
the present Mayor and Councilmen
had performed their duties in a most
creditable manner, said Mr. Arbaugh.
Articles In The Sun
In referring to the articles published in The Sun, Attorney Arbaugh
asserted thnt the figures printed in
The Sun are all the subject of audit
or examination by any person interested and are not only supported by
the books of the village but by budget
commission reports and examiners'
reports.
Continuing, Mr. Arbaugh said that
Ids discussion of the 2.5 mill operating
levy would be tieated from three
angles: First—Is it necessary? Second
—What caused the necessity? Third
—What other solutions are possible?
Taking up the first proposition, the
Village Council and the other village
officials, including myself, by sponsoring this special levy, represent to
you that it is necessary, and a few
facts will demonstrate the truth of
that representation.
Town's Income Reduced
The income of the village for
•operating purposes has been reduced
from an average of $28,000 for the
five years ending in 1032 to estimated
receitps of $10,000 for the current
year of 1935, or a C0% reduction. By
exercise of economies the expenses
have been reduced from an average
of $27,000 to approximately $19,500
for the current year.
When I speak of operating receipts
and expenditures, I refer only to-
general fund receipts and expenditures. This does not include receipts
ami expenditures for operation of the
water works, which is under the control of the Board of Public Affairs,
for garbage collection and disposal,
which is self sustaining, nor do I include sinking fund receipts and expenditures, which are controlled entirely by tlie interest and principal
requirements of outstanding bonds,
and are handled by the sinking fund
trustees. Also excluded are street
maintenance and repair operations
which arc handled exclusively through
1 gasoline tax and motor vehicle license
1 funds, said Attorney Arbaugh.
| Condition Coming For Years
; He asserted that the genera] fund
j operations include the police and fire
j departments, salaries of all village
I officials, except the water works
I superintendent and the street commis-
! sioner; street lights, sewage disposal,
| operating expense of the park and
j village hall, workmen's compensation,
j election expense, county health ex-
j pense and other minor expenses too
• numerous to detail.
I The critical situation which the
' village faces has not developed over
night but has been forseeable for
several years and every year the
; legislature has been promising to give
, relief to municipalities, and in the face
of these promises Council has always
been reluctant to submit an added tax
; levy. Legislative relief has not been
